4l80e crossmember

I just found a site that sells 4l80e crossmembers for our cars. Paracing.com I ordered one and shipping and all was $225.00. I've looked for years and never seen one until now so wanted to spread the word.

Re: 4l80e crossmember

I have one, check your fitment, you may have to grind on it in spots to get it to fit correctly, but it works.

Re: 4l80e crossmember

I have a 4L80e crossmember with torque arm mount for the ls1 swap with 4l80e that i ground on trying to get it to fit. Gave up on it and bought the pa racing crossmember instead.
You can buy it from me for $150, it cost me $400

Re: 4l80e crossmember

You have to fabricate your own or buy a tunnel mounted torque arm like the bmr extreme torque arm and weld it to the trans tunnel frame area. this is the one i am running: http://m.bmrsuspension.com/?page=products&productid=402
It is cheaper to fabricate your own mount. I installed the PA racing crossmember then zip tied my stock torque arm with the bushing in between the crossmember and the stock torque arm to drive the car to the shop where they installed and welded the tunnel mounted torque arm for me. You could zip tie your stocker to the pa racing crossmember and drive it to a shop so someone could weld a mount on the back of the pa racing crossmember. My welder was crappy and i was tired of messing with it after i had some many issues with my transmission that i paid a local speed shop to do it for me.

Lol zip tie the TA to the crossmember!! That's a new one. No I was thinking about using that piece but ended going with the hooker crossmember, it's pretty much the last crossmember I'll ever have to buy. Every transmission can be mounted to it using the different brackets

Yea if you don't all their stuff it won't line up worth a ****. I've got a 370 LS in mine with 4 position adapter plates and an adjustable transmission mount so getting it to line up was no problem.
